Daikin became the world’s first company to succeed in applying R-32 to air conditioners by leveraging its expertise as the only manufacturer that develops and manufactures both air conditioners and refrigerants.

[@zacharypalczynski8450]

Carrier does the same with PURON 454B which is their version of the R32 from Diakin.

[@BNTNJA]

nice job, good looking installation. I've been using Mitsubishi R32 for 6 years now. No problem about the refrigerent at all, people were a bit concerning at first when Daikin first introduce the units with R32 in 2015 but after a few years they don't care much (and yeah, R32 is actually cheaper than R410A here where I live)

[@larrykaufman1761]

The beauty of a Wago is that you can use stranded or solid.

[@scotts4125]

Yup did all mine with pigtails. I had 10g wire so I had to buy the blue wire nuts. I tried stuffing them in Wagos but not even close. :)

[@everettstevenson2111]

Hey Mickey, of Mickey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media. You running R-22 again? lot of bubbles in my sight glass again. Hmm? shark bite max ? This you tube is a world of knowledge. Love you buddies, jolly good show, God save the King.

[@Spillmansgarage]

Great work as usual Mike! Would love to see that Trane replacement, but I’m sure they will call a hack to do it cheaper.

[@ki4fbl]

its only slightly flammable and is one half of r410a. good stuff!!!

[@sethsturtevant9082]

Okay, notes on electrical. You used nm through the block wall, and it should be either in a conduit or ran as uf. Also Daniel was hooking up line side wire to the load side terminals. Minor details, sharp looking install.

[@keithfox5835]

Both jobs look very nice, and in record time. 👍🏻 Homeowner pays for a beautiful new mini split, and a top shelf repipe on his boiler but won’t pay for the brown raceway. 😂 That big label on the indoor unit would have irritated me too.

[@summertop511]

They make same wall bracket in all stainless. Looks great. Never rust.

[@MichaelMantion]

Very cool. I have been waiting 4 years for the swich to R32. Our house has 2 fully functioning central air systems. but they are just so inefficient. Switched to window units cut electrical usage by 65%. Central air is usually a bad idea its even worse when you run your ducts in the attic and through wall spaces. Hopefully our state allows R32 soon.

[@Psolutionsinc]

Mikey Fkn pipes love the mini split what is your thoughts on the flammable gas it uses

[@thtdudenamdbilly]

Funny how you post this when my Daikin wall unit at work gets a blue flashing power light with a U4 error code. Installed last year too. 😢

[@tuffram2165]

We did Fujitsu for many years and had a similar experience as you. We switched to Mitsubishi a little over 2 years ago. Mitsubishi makes by far the best Mini split system on the market hands down nothing else even comparescompares.

[@conundrumconundrum5589]

U must protect your noodle Daniel at all times. Why did censor happy YT slap u with a climate change notice? YT sucks.

[@pyroboy2310]

Thank you for the video, I'm looking for a 2-zone mini split system, just finding out about R410A being phased out so I'm looking for a R32 to protect the long term investment... However, in the states, I can't find this or really any mini splits that run on R32. Except for a Costway. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.

[@RussTripi]

Easy to remember.......a wire begins and ends in a clamp. Could be a plastic box clamp, romex clamp, etc.

[@markcotter2355]

I like those Daikin units. Good job selling a nice product. I’m not a fan of the bosch one you had been putting in.

[@tylerwilliams3868]

why didnt WAGO connectors not work on this job? wondering i just bought a bunch of them and im using also 12 AWG wire

[@gtpforever]

What kind of temperatures does this unit produce heat down to with the R32 and it being an inverter system?

[@richwuttunee4734]

Hey bud , the mins 11 feet, what’s the max on that size line set , curious .

[@GreasyCashier]

Mr pipes where do you get your shirts made? Tryna up the professionalism

[@tckr4883]

Decent looking equipment, and what a difference a well installed line cover makes. Goodman has been beating the other distributors prices on just about everything in Florida, I’ll price a daikin next time… however…you get a ten year warranty on the Gree equipment.

[@scotts4125]

MJF got screwed by Gree on a new install. He's done with them.

[@bobbydisano7293]

Good looking job Mikey! How does the pressures of R32 compare to 410A? Are they similar?

[@Bushkin84]

It's similar to R410a, not R22

[@Ingmaringmar]

R22 is 58 psi for 34F, R410 is 101 psi, R32 is 103. So similar to R410a.

[@DevinHVACInc]

Mikey what’s the running pressure like. I haven’t installed an r32 as yet. So far there’s still new 410a sys out there. This weekend I’m doing 5 zone Bosch with 2 condensers. I just updated the firmware on my sman. Now I have r32 on it.

[@user-fy5sz8ps2d]

I will suggest the indoor unit put somewhere better location, often installer suggest to locate near corners of the wall but in fact the air blow out is not circulating the room well. This is easy for the installer but not best for the user.
